Essays Of Schopenhauer

Beschreibung

A concise hook line 1-2 lines: In the quiet rigor of Schopenhauer's thought lies a map of life's most stubborn questions. Schopenhauer's Essays form a compact yet fierce philosophical essay collection that peers into will and representation, suffering and desire, and the stubborn realities of existence. This modern edition preserves the lucid, restless spirit of early modern philosophy, offering a steady hand for academic philosophy readers and a doorway for general readers curious about life. The volume traverses the German philosophical tradition with clear, accessible prose that rewards careful reading and repeated revisits. Beyond a mere reprint, Alpha Editions restores a pivotal voice from 19th century europe, highlighting the enduring dialogue between kant and nietzsche parallels, and the fraught spaces where existentialism and pessimism meet. The essays stand as a vital hinge between continental philosophy essays and everyday reflection, inviting readers to weigh ethics, perception, and the structures of desire against the backdrop of a troubled world. This edition is for collectors who cherish literary reverence as well as for curious minds who seek a lasting spark of insight. Selling points are woven into the narrative: out of print for decades, now republished by Alpha Editions; restored for today's and future generations; more than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure for the scholarly and the casually intrigued alike. This is philosophy that speaks loudly to both the mind and the heart.

Autor

German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer was born in 1788 and died on September 21, 1860. Although Schopenhauer's work received little attention while he was alive, it had an influence on several fields after his death, including science, literature, and philosophy. Numerous writers and artists have been impacted by his writing on psychology, ethics, and aesthetics. At the age of 88, Arthur Schopenhauer passed away in Paris in 1848. He was born in Danzig, Germany, in 1788 on Heiligegeistgasse. He was the son of Heinrich Floris Schopenhauer (1747-1805) and Johanna Schopenhauer (née Trosiener; 1766-1838), who were both descended from affluent German-Dutch aristocratic families. Arthur was brought to Le Havre in 1797 to live with Grégoire de Blésimaire's family, a business acquaintance of his father's. In 1811-1812, Schopenhauer studied philosophy at the recently established University of Berlin. Schopenhauer periodically mentioned his wish to get married and start a family when he was living in Berlin. He had an on-and-off relationship with Caroline Richter, who had had numerous lovers and a son out of wedlock. After arriving in Frankfurt, he went through a depressive episode and his health deteriorated. He passed away at home, seated on his sofa, on September 21, 1860, from pulmonary-respiratory failure. He passed away at the age of 72, and a Lutheran preacher officiated at his funeral.
